Happy 30!

Mindy, one of my bosses at work, turned 30 and we decorated her office... And I made her a card and we ate lots of cake.

And this was the little envelope I made to go with it...

I think birthdays should always be lots of fun. My mama raised me right, I guess...haha! ;)

Shell Island Adventure

Our dear friends, Bryan & Melissa had won a stay at a local beach hotel/resort and it had a free shuttle to Shell Island, so we popped over with them! I don't have a lot of pictures from the actual beach part (Melissa does maybe?!) but here's a few from on the way... Tori was being uncharacteristically snuggly - which of course, I loved immensely!

=) Happy Monday! Amber

Time Flies...

Has it seriously been two weeks since I last posted? I have been TOO busy. Working on baby showers, house cleaning, work, exercising, CPA studying....ack! I have a few things to post but more or less, any scrapbooking (read - non-necessary activity) is being eliminated until I can get my act together...

But until then, there are a few crafty things in my backlog...Father's Day cards for today...
Have a good weekend!!

A Mother's Love

Ever since I got these pictures developed, I've had a picture in my mind of this page...I seriously just LOVE these pictures. Anyways, the fruitition of said mental-image: Lots of little bits and pieces of all sorts of stuff: Thickers (of course?), Dear Lizzy fabric paper, SEI swirl, tissue paper flower, K&Co. patterned paper and glittery frame, AC pen, and Making Memories die-cut and buttons!

Enjoy your weekend!! Amber

What?! A layout!

Yes, it's true! A layout today...a two year anniversary layout!And a close-up of the flowers... I heart Thickers. The end! Happy Thursday! Amber

Random Picture Tuesday.

Oh, how I love these two little sweeties!

Memorial Day Vacation

Since Adam and I both started new jobs, we don't really have any vacation time...so we (kinda last minute) decided to go to Atlanta, Georgia for the weekend...

We went to Stone Mountain...And watched a little 4-D movie they had there...And went on a train ride around the mountain...And even little scaredy-cat me made it up to the top of the mountain via a frightening cable car ride...haha!We did some other shopping and eating stuff, that I don't have pictures of, including a delicious Cheesecake Factory meal...mmmmm! *Insert visual pictures here*

Then, we went to Bass Pro and spent fooooreevvver in there (we actually went, and then came back again!) I entertained myself by taking a gazillion pictures of Adam looking at fishing stuff. Haha! I'm his personal paparazzi!Then we went to a Braves game - this was the highlight of our trip...it was really fun!

Then we got ready and left...with just a bit of shopping on the way home...

It was a very fun, in spite of being short!

Enjoying.

Right now I'm enjoying:
...spending lots of quality time with my dearest
...the sunshiney, summery days
...that new grass is replacing a dirt filled yard
...strawberries (yum, yum!)
...sorting through old pictures and remembering times gone by
...using up my scrapbooking supplies for classroom crafts
...my mega-cricut. Thank you so much, dear mother-in-law!
...lunches at home
...life, every breath, every moment with those I love

Trying hard to find balance between what I think needs to be done, what actually needs to be done, and what needs to be let go. Trying to rest in God instead of being so stressed and busy. Trying to look around, and consciously be grateful for so many things, both big and small.

I am blessed, blessed, blessed.

Happy Thursday! Amber
